The Blurb On The Back:
My ammu’s hijab is NOT her hair.
It’s NOT a towel and it definitely ISN’T a hat - so why does she wear it?
Full of curiosity and LOTS of questions, Noor sets out to find her answer …
This heart-warming yet funny tale is a celebration of Muslim women, curious children and family love.
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
Farina Islam and Nabila Adani’s picture book is a bright, cheerful and slightly cheeky look at what the hijab is and why some Muslim women wear it. Noor’s imaginative thoughts on why her relatives may wear hijab made me smile and I really liked the fact that when she finally gets an answer, her mum stresses how it is Noor’s choice to wear hijab but that it does go to her mum’s identity as a Muslim and she is unapologetic about that.
NOT NOW, NOOR! was released in the United Kingdom on 16th March 2023. Thanks to the Amazon Vine Programme for the review copy of this book.
